Should I Start Josh Jacobs?

Wednesday, May 27, 12:32 PM

A statement released by the lawyers of Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs confirms that Jacobs has been released from custody and that "no criminal charges have been filed against him." Jacobs was arrested and booked into the Brown County Jail on Tuesday night on counts of battery, criminal damage of property, disorderly conduct, strangulation and suffocation, and intimidation of a victim. While Jacobs has been released from jail, this appears to be an ongoing situation that fantasy managers will need to monitor closely in the coming weeks and months. The 28-year-old has been the Packers' workhorse back over the last two seasons, collecting nearly 2,900 yards from scrimmage and 30 touchdowns across 32 games. If Jacobs were to face some sort of discipline from the NFL and miss time, Chris Brooks and MarShawn Lloyd profile as the current favorites to lead the Green Bay backfield.
